You can create a group of lab resources to track and manage. You
can associate teams of people to a lab resource group. For example, you can
create a group of machines that are dedicated to a particular testing team.
The team of people always has exclusive access to the group of lab resources
that you define.
To create a group of lab resources:
- In the left sidebar, point to the Lab Management icon
(
), and click Create Lab
Resource Group. The Create Lab Resource Group editor opens.
- Click <Enter New Lab Resource Group Name>,
and type a name for the lab resource group.
- Enter a start date and an expiration date for the lab resource
group or select the Never Expired check box for the
lab resource group to be permanent.
- In <Click here to enter a description>,
provide a description of the lab resource group.
- In Team Area, select the name of a project
team.
- Click Save to save the definition of the
lab resource group. If there are lab resources that are
already defined for the team you selected, those lab resources are displayed
in the Lab Resource section. You can filter the display of lab resources by
selecting a category in Group by.
- To add lab resources for the group, in the Lab Resource section,
click the Add to group icon (
). The Add to group
window opens and displays a list of all the available lab resources.
- Select the lab resources for the group. You can select one, more
than one, or all of the lab resources.
- Click OK. The lab resources are added to
the lab resource group definition.
- To remove a lab resource from the group definition, select the
lab resource, and click the Release from Group icon.
The lab resource is removed from the group but is still in the lab management
database.
- Click Save. The lab resource group is saved
and displays in the All Lab Resource Groups editor. To open the editor, point
to the Lab Management icon (
), and click All Lab Resource
Groups.
